“A strange thing happened today with me. Or I should say this type of strange things happens with every other girl in our society,” begins a woman’s narrative on Facebook. An An MBA student, she's referring to an incident on the campus of Utkal University in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

She describes her ordeal involving a man she identifies as being around 50 years old, using “really abusive words”, “pulling down his pants” and making “lewd remarks”. While the university was less crowded than usual because it was a Sunday, the woman said that the incident had taken place in the presence of auto drivers in the area.

When she called her friend for help, the man disappeared, but the two women gathered bamboo sticks, went in search of him, and thrashed him when they located him. The duo also made the video of the incident which can be seen above. A police complaint was eventually filed, and the accused man has been arrested and sent to court.
